# Workflow Skill Five modes for structured multi-phase work. Match the request, follow that mode's instructions. ## Mode Selection | Request pattern | Mode | |---|---| | Feature design/plan/implement/validate/release, end-to-end | [Feature Lifecycle](#feature-lifecycle) | | Write spec, define requirements, create plan, interview, pause/resume | [Planning](#planning) | | Keep working until, iterate until done, drive to done | [Objective Loop](#objective-loop) | | Make faster, speed up, reduce latency, profile, hill climb | [Hill Climb](#hill-climb) | | All other structured workflows: review, debug, refactor, research, create, explore, upgrade | [Ad-Hoc Workflow](#ad-hoc-workflow) | --- ## Feature Lifecycle Phase-gated workflow: DESIGN > PLAN > IMPLEMENT > VALIDATE > RELEASE. Each phase must pass its gate before the next begins. ### Phase Routing If `.feature/` exists, check state: `python3 ~/.claude/scripts/feature-state.py status`. Route to the indicated phase. If no feature state exists, determine entry from intent: - "design", "think through", "explore approaches" -> DESIGN - "plan", "break down", "create tasks" -> PLAN (requires completed design) - "implement", "execute plan" -> IMPLEMENT (requires completed plan) - "validate", "quality gates" -> VALIDATE (requires completed implementation) - "release", "merge", "ship it" -> RELEASE (requires passed validation) - "end to end", "full lifecycle" -> DESIGN (start from beginning) ### Phase References Load the phase ...
